I too would probably prefer a hard top for a daily driver. I've had a convertible, so I was kinda ready to go the coupe route anyway. The soft top wouldn't have deterred me if I wanted a cabrio. I think that's what BMW figured would happen with this car. Keeping the soft top makes the car in the class of the Bentley GTC and it's competitors (not that it's a competitor in reality, but they want to act like it is). The option of hard or soft top, while nice, would add production casts and difficulty stocking dealerships, but, more importantly, they'd be putting the 6 badge on a car that is inconsistent with their philosophy for this car. But, yes, for those of us who aren't pulling this car out of the garage on Saturday morning to drive to the country club, the hard top makes much more sense.
